IPC COMMUNITY 34 SPRING 2024 T he third annual Integrated Electronics Manufacturing and Interconnections (IEMI) event takes place July 24–25 in Penang, Malaysia, and July 29–30 in Bengaluru, India. It promises to be a landmark event in the electronics manufacturing ecosystem. Building on the success of its previous editions, IEMI 2024 brings together the brightest minds and the latest innovations in the industry by offer- ing a unique platform to network, share knowl- edge, and showcase cutting-edge technologies. "If you've never attended IEMI before, be prepared for two days filled with several activities, including presen- tations on technical topics and professional develop- ment," says Gaurab Majum- dar, executive director, IPC India. "But the best part is the exhibition and display of products. We will have about 50 companies there. It might not seem like a lot compared to other exhibi- tions, but India and Malaysia are poised to play an import- ant role in electronics supplies and semiconductors." IEMI 2024 will attract a global audience of industry leaders, technology experts, policy- makers, and academia, all converging to discuss the trends and challenges in electronics manu- facturing. The event will feature a series of key- note speeches, technical presentations, panel discussions, standards development meetings, and a hand-soldering competition. "IEMI helps you meet the key players in the industry," Gaurab says. "Fifty to 60% of the del- egates are from production process and qual- ity departments, which will elevate the level of technical conversations about products and services." IEMI will place a significant emphasis on defense and aerospace, exploring the latest trends, technologies, and challenges in these high-stakes industries. Both of these key themes reflect the event's dedica- tion to highlighting cutting-edge developments and regional specializations in electron- ics manufacturing. "It's important for your business to attend IEMI because electronics man- ufacturing value chain providers are a main part of the event," Gaurab says. "The delegates are both end-users and suppliers. Based on the profiles of our international delegates, we customized our meetings so there is a higher chance of getting business leads."
